By the way there was proposal to set up separate mail list for
review announcements - who can do it?
I expect that that would make them _less_ visible, as only a
certain
percentage of people will look at that, and there will be
plenty of people who
might look at it if they knew about it but won't initially. We
already have
the announce group for announcements. Why create a new announce
group just for
reviews - especially when review announcements aren't all that
frequent? Even
if we were having reviews as fast as we could, it would
typically be 2+ weeks
between posts.
I notice some people mentioning thet have missed start of review
or voting in almost any such thread. D.announce traffic is not
that small these days actually, I doubt many will want to
subscribe to all its posts to just to be notified about reviews.
I don't propose to move discussion there - just make additional
notifications identical to those that go to D.announce
In theory it shouldn't be needed but reality has been different
so far. And I'd really love to get more participation from Phobos
contributors who don't seem to follow NG _that_ closely.
Counter proposals are highly welcome ;)
